Mission Advancing Research on Women, Gender, and Sexuality through Innovation, Collegiality, and Mentorship HE MISSION of the UCLA Center for the Study of Women (CSW) is Tto create and sustain a productive intellectual community dedicated to research pertaining to women, gender, and sexuality across all disciplines. Our multidisciplinary constituency includes UCLA faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, and community scholars in Los Angeles, but also extends, through our conferences and programming, to scholars doing research on gender, sexuality, and women’s issues throughout the U.S. and around the globe. We implement our mission through five interrelated strategies, including: • Faculty and graduate student research through our Faculty Curator and Development Grant Programs, conferences, research working groups, workshops, and programs and through fundraising and grants to gener- ate intra and extramural funding sources for the support and imple- mentation of that research; • Publication venues for the dissemination of scholarly research and net- works for communication and research sharing to facilitate intellectual community; • Productive scholarly relationships within and beyond the academic community through our research, programming, and publications ac- tivities; • Recruitment and retention efforts at UCLA through workshops, fund- ing, and development focused specifically on junior faculty and through the networks of support we have developed to improve climate issues for underrepresented faculty and students; and • Extensive support for graduate students through our Graduate Stu- dent Initiative, which includes a robust fellowship and grants program, research funding, professionalization workshops, programming, and employment. Currently, CSW is fully engaged in all of these functions. Our mission has not changed over the past year. By refining goals and focusing on specific project-based fundraising, we have been highly successful in gaining new resources. 5 Annual Report 2013-2014 B. Summary of Accomplishments 1. Most Important Accomplishment HIS YEAR, CSW’s most important accomplishment was the Tcompletion of the three-year NEH project, “Making Invisible Histories Visible: Preserving the Legacy of Lesbian Feminist Activism and Writing in Los Angeles.” All processing was complete, a reource guide was published, and a festive event featuring panels with presentations delivered by some of the participants in the project and a dialogue/Q&A with Col. Margarethe Cammermeyer and her lawyer, Mary Newcombe. Cammermeyer, a Vietnam veteran, Bronze Star recipient, and Mazer Archive donor, successfully challenged the ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military. The NEH/Mazer project continues to make crucial contributions to the Los Angeles community, to UCLA, to the Mazer Archive, as well as to scholars and the public all over the world (Appendixes 1, 2). 6 Annual Report 2013-2014 B.

APRIL 10 – 13 | HILTON ATLANTA • 1 We l c o m e Welcome to the 105th Annual Meeting of the Organization of American Historians! Meeting themes are rarely “ripped from the headlines” as if they were scripts from television’s Law and Order. However, the heated national debate over comprehensive immigration reform calls attention to American history’s perennial themes: the peopling of the United States and the great vitality derived from the diversity of the American population. “Crossing Borders,” then, seemed the appropriate choice to be the thematic focus of this year’s meeting.

  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

  • Eastern African Women Writers' 'National Epics': a New Force In
    Eastern African women writers’ ‘national epics’: A new force in creative fiction? Annie Gagiano Eastern African women writers’ ‘national epics’: A new force in creative fiction? In this article, I bring five recent, substantial novels by Eastern African women writers together for the first time in a study regarding the texts as modern ‘national epics’, analysing some of their shared characteristics in foregrounding local participation in the making of East African ethno- national histories. I trace the novelists’ implicit, open-eyed moral evaluation of their leaders and peoples, neither sentimentalising nor deriding the often terrible struggles of their peoples against both inside and outside powers that seek to keep them in subjugation. The texts eschew traditional heroic portrayal of single, male leaders in national epics and allow us to grasp diverse, communal contributions to the growth of nationhood, while giving larger, often central roles to women. The texts earn the epithet ‘epic’ by authoritatively demonstrating that their embodied, localised histories matter, testifying to the wide human spectrum of the peoples they portray; as novelistic acts they are impressive and moving bids for recognition. As post-colonial endeavours, the texts effectively decentre colonial interventions. While the chosen novels are shown to be relatable, their individual power of portrayal and aesthetic achievements are scrupulously differentiated.Keywords: ‘national epics’, Eastern African women writers, localised histories, authority. In considering noteworthy developments in East African creative writing, one particularly striking phenomenon is the recent publication of novels by women authors depicting these writers’ societies and cultures of origin on a broad spectrum that might be termed ethno-national in scope, with a focus on key moments and periods in the history of these peoples.

  • Interview with Maaza Mengiste
    Interview with Maaza Mengiste [00:00:09] Kendra Hello, I'm Kendra Winchester, here with Autumn Privett. And this is Reading Women, a podcast inviting you to reclaim half the bookshelf by discussing books written by or about women. And today we're talking to Maaza Mengiste about her book THE SHADOW KING, which is out now from W.W. Norton. [00:00:25] Autumn So we first saw this week at Book Expo way back earlier this year. And the cover, since we're suckers for beautiful covers, the cover is what drew us in. But oh, man, this book is big and beautiful. And it just covers so many things I never even thought about before. [00:00:47] Kendra I never heard of, let alone read, a novel about the Ethiopian-Italian conflict during World War II until this book. And I mean, it's a really fabulous way to enter the topic. [00:01:00] Autumn Like you just said, this is a part of World War II history that I think was literally glossed over in my history books. And so it's. Like, a novel is such a great way to learn about areas of history like this that you might not have known about previously. And this one is a beautiful, sweeping, mesmerizing story that I just couldn't put down, which is always a bonus. [00:01:23] Kendra It's definitely a type of novel where you read it and then you want to go read all of the nonfiction things about it, for sure.

  • Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration
    National Park Service U.S Department of the Interior Washington Support Office: Cultural Resources, Partnerships and Science Interpretation, Education and Volunteers Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration Summary Report DEDICATION This report honors all those who suffered and died in this nation’s struggles for freedom and equality. It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.
